Be sure to press [F TIMER] before the programme start time to put the unit on recording standby. Timer recording will work only if “F” is displayed.

To cancel recording when recording has

Press [F TIMER].

You can also press and hold [] on the main unit for more than 3 seconds to stop recording.

[Note]

Timer recordings are activated regardless of whether the unit is turned on/off.

Timer recordings begin when the set time is reached even when playing.

Timer recordings do not begin while editing or transferring (dubbing) in normal speed mode (page 33).

F” flashes for about 5 seconds when the unit cannot go to timer recording standby.

If the unit is not put in the timer recording standby mode at the latest 10 minutes before the programmed timer recording starting time, the “F” flashes on the unit display. In this case, press [F TIMER] to put the unit in the timer recording standby mode.

When you programme successive timer recordings to start immediately one after the other, the unit cannot record the part at the beginning of the later programmes (a few seconds when recording with HDD or DVD-RAM and approximately 30 seconds when recording with DVD-R).

Auto Renewal Recording

[HDD]

If you record a programme onto HDD repeatedly everyday or every week using timer recording, the unit will record the new programme over the old one.

This function can be used only when weekly recording or daily recording is selected.

3 Press [2, 1] to select “RENEW” column.

[Note]

If a programme set for Auto Renewal Recording is protected or while play back is taking place from the HDD, or while transferring (dubbing), the programme will not be overwritten. Instead the programme set for recording will be saved as a separate programme, and this programme will be the one to be overwritten when the next Auto Renewal Recording takes place.

Play lists made from programmes that were set for Auto Renewal Recording are erased along with auto renewal.

When there is not enough space on the HDD, the programme may not be recorded completely (even if repeating a renewal recording).
